Our take
LoyaltyLion helps fast-growth eCommerce retailers succeed in the age of Amazon, driving growth through long-lasting customer relationships that go beyond price or logistics. The company enables relationships to be built on emotional connections, aligned values and great customer experiences.
Beyond a traditional 'points for purchase' system, LoyaltyLion enable rewards for other actions, such as referring a friend, leaving a review or following on social media (often particularly important for smaller businesses). This model is better suited to eCommerce and provides more meaningful loyalty interactions that count towards conversions.
LoyaltyLion is a Deloitte Fast 50 company that recently raised impressive funding from Kennet, a SaaS-focused growth stage investor. They now work with over 10,000 eCommerce retailers and are focused on growing their team.
